We the undersigned request that the Christchurch City Council relocate and mount the Medway St footbridge as a lasting seismic sculpture in a readily accessible location where it will serve as a reminder of the 7.1 earthquake that struck Christchurch City on the 4th September at 4:35am. We believe that the bridge is a perfect and lasting reminder of just how powerful the earthquake was and should be preserved for current and future generations to reflect upon.
The feedback from local historians and residents confirms that the bridge remains a profound symbol of our shared history. I am currently coordinating with the city council to formally present our proposal for the relocation of the structure.
October 6, 2010
The level of public interest in preserving the Medway St footbridge shows that many people value this visual testament to our shared history. It is encouraging to see this momentum grow as we consider the future of such a significant landmark.
